Saying good bye to the MTC-journal

 3/8/24

Woke up this morning and all my companions were gone. Honestly so sad. Goodbyes are literally the worst. On the way to the airport right now and we are riding the train! So that is super cool! Made some new friends! They are super nice and they are headed to arcadia too! missions are hard and it is kinda scary to be headed to a completely new place. But I know God Will watch over me and my family. Maybe I'll get to see stockton at the airport!! Excited to meet my mission comp and mission president!

Today was very intersting! First full day in the field. It was definitely good but also hard! I met my trainer yesterday, Hermana Pachego, she is amazing! She is from honduras and is seriously the sweetest! I have to drive us around because she does not have a license. So that is super exciting. We spend the first half of the day weekly planning. I was honestly so homesick and cried most of personal study because it is just a big change. Our apartment is small and kind of run down, and we share it with two other hermanas. They are honestly so fun and energetic! I went running with one of them this morning! It is so pretty here I love the sun and the trees, and the mountains, and the fact that it is so green! We had a memeber take us and some elders out to lunch! That was nice, and then we went door contacting, and talked to several people, a couple people might be intersted. I don’t really know what is going on ever, but I just bare my testimony when my trainer tells me to. She is patient and such a sweet heart, but she is also super quiet and it kinda gets lonely sometimes. Hopefully we have some people come to church with us tomorrow.

Today was better. The mornings are kinda slow, which I don’t love but it is ok. We went to church and the ward was pretty small, there was probably 20-30 people in there. I introduced myself in spanish and bore my testimony. I didn’t really understand anything anyone was saying, but everyone was super nice, and gave me lots of hugs and was patient with my not so good spanish. Afterwards we went to a member meal and she fed us some GOOD food! Her house was tiny, we were sitting on a couch slash bed, and the elders wer sitting on a bed with a table in the middle. then we did some personal study. And I have just been wondering if I should be here becuase I am definetley homesick right now. I can’t tell if this is where I am supposed to be, and my stupid fear came back again, and all I want to do is just be home. So yeah kinda struggling, and I don’t know what to do…After personal study we went to a park to find people, and we taught 3 lessons! Most of the time I just wait to bare my testimony when my companion looks at me hahah. Lots of people are curious about how I am learning spanish and I tell them about the MTC. After the park we came back home to make dinner. We made dinner with the other hermanas and had a cute dinner date. I’m excited for P-day tomorrow becuase we are playing zone games and i get to get some food at the store! The food in the fridge is kinda weird and I don’t know exactly what to cook. So yeah. Love you both!

Well today was long but filled with lots of good things. I got my heart rate up to 180 this morning. It literally felt so good. We had goal setting as a zone this morning, cool to see the zone come together and make goals to help fulfill the fathers will. personal study today was good. I am so close to finishing the book of mormon. I really liked Ether 15:34. Just how it refers to doing the lords will, which is something that I am not the best at. Today the lord concecrated our efforts. We got a super prepared refferal who wants to learn more about the book of mormon. And the other one literally ran into us on the way back to our car. Finally seeing a little bit of the fruits of our efforst from finding!! Today we had interviews and I didnt cry!!! I talked to sister jones about family history and how the veil is thinner than we know. And president jones it was so good. He is very proud of me. He even told Hermana Smith that I am a very obedient dilligent missionary. He was also excited...

A note from Daddy Travis

 August 21, 2024 Good Morning Hermana! I am looking forward to hearing about your new area, your new apartment, and about your WANT LIST for the next package I am going to send you!  The cherry chip cookies you will absolutely love!!!   Remember the object of this week – REMEMBER LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE PAST!  A quick story for you – Mary and her mommy were going for a walk .  Some people they passed were frowning ( pause your reading this story and put on the biggest frown that you have) .  Mary asked Mommy, “Why are the people so sad?” Mommy said, “I don’t know, but maybe we can smile at them and help them be happy.” As they walked along, Mary saw a woman coming toward them. Mary smiled her biggest smile  (pause again and put on your biggest smile!)..  When the woman saw Mary’s happy face, she smiled back. Mary said, “It worked!” Mommy said, “When we choose to be happy, it helps others be happy too.”   These past weeks, I have needed your ...
